Venous Ulcer: You should see a vein specialist. The gold standard of treatment is to close (seal) the malfunctioning valve or valves. This is called a closure procedure and can be done by multiple methods including laser, radio frequency, foam sclerotherapy, mechanical ablation and vein surgical glue.
